For the first time in South Africa, the Burning Carnival World Tour will kick off in Johannesburg on 29 October 2016, at the Mall of Africa, Johannesburg. This one of a kind festival fuses music, entertainment, costumes and self-expression.

We’ll have three special themed tents, a large central arena and an art tent. Furthermore, there will be a VIP dinner table with three course meals prepared by an international chef. Most of all, we’ll have a fun and entertainment park, therapeutic sunset letter burning ceremony to let go and move forward and plenty of other highlights to look forward to over the course of the full day event. Also, guests will have the chance to dress up according to their own fantasies, themes, imaginations and creativity, making this event the ultimate celebration of expression.

It’s a great big burning fantasy world for adults

Burning Carnival organiser Stephan Dau (creator of worldwide Events like HOLI ONE or TH GRAND WHITE Dinner) says, “We create a feeling of optimism, love, fun and togetherness. Furthermore, we want people to discover themselves and celebrate love and life. Most of all, with their best friends to express themselves and impress others with their costumes and behaviour, with an opportunity to SHINE! It’s a great big fantasy world for adults.”

Guests with musical or artistic talents are encouraged to get involved by showcasing their talents at the event. They can do this either in The Arena, which features on-stage performances, or the Art Tent, which will feature a wide range of artistic mediums.
